Step 1

Place chicken breast in a Ziploc bag. Add in 2 tablespoons basil pesto, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag and gently move the breasts through the bag to get them all nicely coated.

Step 2

Allow the chicken to marinated for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add marinated chicken and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk all sauce ingredients until well combined.

Step 5

Pour this sauce over the chicken into the pan, and add in the cherry tomatoes.

Step 6

Simmer for 5-6 minutes over medium-low heat, until the sauce thickens and the tomatoes burst.

Step 7

Garnish with parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired and enjoy!
